Why I now play HotS

This is mostly me venting because I love league. However, much like a lover out of line, I think it's time that we take a break. Over the last few patches I have seen the game I loved turn on me.

For me, started with the Yorick rework. I loved old Yorick. I was by no means a Yorick main but he had a flavor and a uniqueness to him that make him legitimately fun to play. I get that most people like new Yorick but honestly, new Yorick should have just been a new champion.

"One character too strong? Let's buff someone else to compensate meanwhile we can forget about the champions who aren't bringing in any skin revenue."

That is a minor issue. What I've peeved about is I'm a Midlane and Jungle main. I play some top and some support and avoid ADC whenever possible. My mains are Lee Sin, Nidalee Jungle, Diana, and Illaui Mid. Life was good, I'm not a great player so I did the best I could with these characters. I understand that high elo players can do a lot of damage with the characters I'm playing but for me they just felt healthy. Then came the jungle change. This is the change that led me to change to a game I've long since deemed inferior.

Plants: That's just what the game needed. More randomness. As if crits and mobility creep isn't a big enough problem, now I have to worry about chasing someone into a bulb that shoots them away from me. Now I can get slowed if there is some trash plant that heals and impedes me from pursuit. Who at riot decided that these plants were a good idea because I'd buy all those champions and skins I've dropped cash on all over again if you fire them for me and revert the jungle.

Exp In the Jungle: Speaking of jungle changes, stop touching the flipping jungle. "This jungle change makes Lee Sin OP so lets nerf Lee Sin... Lee Sin is balances? Awesome, now lets Nerf the Jungle. Okay great, so you've not only solved the problem but you've made a new one." That problem shows with Lee Sin but also with Nidalee who currently has a win rate less that forty percent and for the same reason. "Nidalee is too strong, lets nerf her clears. Problem fixed! Now lets remove her root.... okay... it's manageable. Now lets make the jungle creeps stronger while making them give less exp. Now lets make them come out later so leashes are shorter...." Just delete Nidalee from the game.

These are only some of the borderline half-wit changes to come out since I've been playing. Each patch makes me dislike the game more. Honestly, it makes me sad to see my favorite champion sit at the bottom of the trash can while you guys learn how to balance a game that's been out for eight years.

Please fix the game for the lower ELO players. I miss it.

You'll catch me playing Heroes until then.
